Résumé en anglais

This paper presents a general framework about what is a decision problem. The aim is to provide a theory under which the existing methods and algorithms can be characterised, designed, chosen or justified. The framework shows that 5 features are necessary and sufficient in order to completely describe the whole set of existing methods. It also explains why optimisation remains the general approach under which decision problems are algorithmically considered.
